Walking Shoes Blues ©clay howard verse 1: that woman of mine left town today left me alone with my mind to play keeping her around is something I can't do Lord knows that I tried time and again she told me that he was just her friend but here I am alone -she's in her walking shoes chorus: her walking shoes lead to my talking blue I've always liked her in her stocking feet her walking shoes left me alone with the blues here's hoping that her walking shoes make her complete verse 2: that lady I know just told me we're through she left me alone with nothing to do I knew her time with me would not last long no matter what I tried I knew as time goes by I'd be here again singing the walking song chorus: her walking shoes lead to my talking blue I've always liked her in her stocking feet her walking shoes left me alone with the blues here's hoping that her walking shoes make her complete

Got the smoking gun blues Got the smoking gun blues From my fedora to my wing tip shoes Got the smoking gun blues Guilty as sin Cops are closing in Got the smoking gun blues No need for clues Got the smoking gun blues Made an offer that they couldn't refuse Got the smoking gun blues Race horses head Wound up in his bed Got the smoking gun blues Took up my quarter and headed for the phone My grade school hero was Alphonse Capone smoking gun blues smoking gun blues Walk in the park Big dogs bark The lies they're all true Smoking gun blues Stars and stripes and bars are all that I do Smoking gun blues Call em like I see em This joints my mauselum Smoking. Gun blues

it’s the end of the night at the end of the bar she hands me the keys and says not too far would you come home with a little ol girl like me I’m gonna get some, have a little snack take a little nap and sneak out the back x2 i don’t like relationships i mess em up each time i’m more in to fun and games what’d you have on your mind Chorus I know what your thinking but i don’t want no trouble acting like my mother hanging around all over my shoulder always wanting somebody over driving my car and spending my money makes me just want to take off running and go get some Chorus (till you can’t sing it anymore x’s)

my momma asked me when I was just a little boy my momma asked me when I was just a little boy son, what's a suckling to a sow? but momma momma what you think of me now? my momma told me I weren't nothing but a trifling thing my momma told me I weren't nothing but a trifling thing you gave me the switch with an apple bough but momma momma what you think of me now? my momma laughed at me, said I'd never be a man my momma laughed at me, said I'd never be a man but I caught my woman messin' and I cut her down momma what you think of me now?

No God could ever love me after all that I have done I said no God could ever love me after all that I have done Spent my whole life as a sinner Ain't no saving this Prodigals son Well the shot glass is my savior The Whiskey bottle is my King Now I'll be on my best behavior Still the Whiskey is my king Ain't no Angels singing for this broken soul Aint' no church bells gonna ring I see a long road to keep on walking But a short path to my grave Don't know how I'll keep on walking Gonna lay down in my grave Where no light could ever find me Here in the darkness down below, where even Jesus couldn't save.

ain in my Veins Another song begins and I’m reminded of you The mood of the music sounds like you used to Every beat played may as well be your footsteps Even the heartbeat doesn’t let me forget I hear your soundtrack and I taste your kiss You’re the train in my veins that I can’t resist I hear the disco in the wind when you step into the night The air smells like fragrance from a forgotten time You are the first on the list of the all time favorite songs And the look in your eye is the world’s best written line I hear your soundtrack and I taste your kiss You’re the train in my veins that I can’t resist So I sing to remember And I sleep not to feel I sing to remember And I sleep not to feel I wonder what your song will sound like when you’re older A flock of flamingos Or a string lullaby Will you let me hear you when we are apart or together? Will you let me hear you tonight and forever? I hear your soundtrack and I taste your kiss You’re the train in my veins I hear your soundtrack and I taste your kiss You’re the train in my veins that I can’t resist I can’t resist No I can’t resist No I can’t resist

Walkin’ Away When I look outside my window And all I see is pain And the emptiness before me is all that remains The only drive I can muster Is to walk right out that door And I’ll just keep on walkin’ til I can’t walk no more Walkin’ Away You know I just can’t stay in one place anymore Walkin’ Away There’s nothing left for me anymore Walkin’ Away And I just can’t be reminded Well there ain’t no road that’ll take me far enough So I keep Walkin’ Away All the memories they chase me And I just can’t get away Yet my feet they never tire, day after day As the souls on my shoes They slowly disappear It’s my soul that’s left in tatters now that you’re not here Walkin’ Away Though the memories never fade Walkin’ Away Since they’ve carried you away Walkin’ Away And I just can’t be reminded anymore Cause there ain’t no road that’ll take me far enough So I’m Walkin’, Walkin’ Away Now you know When you see The people out on the highway just walkin’ and starin’ ahead They might’ve lost Somethin’ sweet And now their feet just keep takin’ them further down the road To search for some Kind of peace And that’s just what’s happenin’ to me And I don’t know what’s come over me But there’s only one place I can be Walkin’ Away And I just can’t stay in one place anymore Walkin’ Away It’s the last thing I know how to do Walkin’ Away And I just can’t be reminded anymore There ain’t no road that can take me far enough So I’m walkin’, Walkin’ Away Just gotta keep on walkin’ Walkin’ Away

Sing like you mean it Don't sing in between it Believe what you're sayin' Make it worth the price you're payin' There's no need to hide What you got inside It's ok to have the blues It's ok to be alone It's ok if you lose It's ok if you want to go I think that you'll make it Don't want to half-bake it And I'd only be lyin' If I said I was tryin' But if you ask me to leave You won't get my retreat It's ok to have the blues It's ok to be alone It's ok if you lose It's ok if you want to go Walk like you talk it Don't be content to squawk it End what you started Don't do it half-hearted There's no need to hide What you got inside It's ok to have the blues It's ok to be alone It's ok if you lose It's ok if you have to go
